IMPROVED PORTABLE BEER-COOLER.

The Schedule referred to in thesleLettexs Patent and making part of thesame.

To all lwhom it 'may concern Be it known that I, E. C. BUNDY, of'Oneonta, in

the county of Otsego, and State of New York, have draught, and consistsin a portable cooler adapted for the ready reception of the ca'sk to bedrawn, and for attachment ot' the faucet for drawing the beer throughthe case, and furnished with an ice-receptaclel and a fan-blowingapparatus arranged for the drip to fall upon the cash, audfor causing,when required to cool the beer quickly, a rapid circulation of the airwithin the caseyall as hereinaftermmore fully specified.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation otmy improved cooler, taken on theline :v x of tig. 3.

Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of the same, taken on the line z z,iig. 3, and

Figure 3 is a plan view of the same with the top removed.

.A is the exterior case and B the interiorone, made in"any suitable way,and arranged with a space between.

The walls of the case B have large holes C at the sides, near thebottom, and another hole, D, is placed in one end to coincide with ahole, E, leading-into the ice-case F, which is one of the compartmentsof a detachable case, Gr, tted to be let down into the top of the caseB, and rest on the top by suitable iianges.

The other compartment H of the case containsa fan-blower, I, the pinionK ot' which gears with a large wheel, L, in the case B, and on shaft M,projecting through the two cascs,.and having a driving-crank, N.

rlhis fan draws the air in at the end, and forces it through the ice-boxF and passages E 'D into the space between the two cases,andeback'through the hole c into the inner case and against the sides ofthe beer-casks, so that it is rapidly cooled'and brought into directcontact with the cask, cooling it quickly when required, as in theicaseof casks when rs't put l in and from which it is required to draw atonce.

The faucet l? is screw-threaded, and at the inner end has a'nnt, Q,which draws the collar R at the outsideA up against the side ofthe'case, and the inner end into the plug S, which is attached to thecask before it is put in the case, and has a cock, S'.

rlhis apparatus is applicable, also, for cooling any liquid o1` ediblesubstance in like manner, but is more especially designed for coolingbeer in casks, as above shown.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A portablebeer-cooling case, A B, fan-blower, and an ice-chamber, arranged foroperation substantially as specified.
